What change, if any, is required before the aeroplane may safely be flown?
None, as the gross weight is within 10% of the maximum.
None, as the C of G is zero.
Re-calculate the weight and balance using the occupant registration weight of 80 kg.
Remove 10 kg of fuel from the long range tank and re-calculate the weight and balance.
